JOSEPH COUNTY <br />Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov <br />STAFF REPORT <br />CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A <br />CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS <br />Date: August 7, 2024 <br />Application Number: 2024-0802 <br />Property Location: 914 Leland Avenue <br />Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: <br />Prairie / 1911-13 / <br />Property Owner: Quinn Pillari <br />Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park LHD, <br />Ordinance #9575-05; National Register of Historic Places <br />Rating: Significant <br />DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: This is a 2+ story rectangular plan house. Stucco siding with wood <br />course band between stories and frieze at eaves. Gable roof with asphalt shingles and dormers with pediments. Full <br />width front porch on west facade including small pediment above entrance. Double hung windows with aluminum <br />storm windows. Muntins in front windows form geometric squares. <br />DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant has requested approval to: <br />1) Install new double hung wood window. Constructed of wood to replicate existing window on south facade. The <br />proposed window will be 6 inches longer (to the bottom) than the previous window. <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: <br />Windows: Pages 29-32. <br />SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The replacement of an unoriginal, small fixed-pane window with a custom, <br />wood window replicating the adjacent windows will not damage the integrity of the house. The proposed window <br />will restore a sense of continuity among the windows on the south facade of the house, as the majority of these <br />windows feature the same unique muntin pattern. Staff makes an FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION. <br />Prepared by <br />Kate Himick, Historic Preservation Specialist
